Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it has raided a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory in a forest in Oyo State. According to the reports, operatives made the discovery during an operation in the state and arrested five people, including a Mexican national and four Nigerians. The laboratory is described as a large operation, with one outlet characterizing it as involving multi-billion-naira investments. Both sources link the raid to a broader series of NDLEA interdictions, noting that it comes only weeks after the agency dismantled another major meth laboratory in a forest area in Ogun State. The reports present the development as part of NDLEA efforts to disrupt synthetic drug production and trafficking activities in Nigeria’s southwestern region. Details such as the exact location in Oyo, the specific roles of those arrested, and whether any chemical precursors or finished drugs were seized are not included in the excerpts provided. The NDLEA is continuing its investigations following the arrests.
